Abstract

The demand of professionalism from graduates is insisted in industrial life, so big improvement on the skills of competences in English language becomes crucial to achieve the standards for it. Creative writing is a competence which makes learners have more imaginative mind, more inspirations and at once more professional with multi talent in writing and creativity. This paper purposes to explain an experimental study by using you-tube video of Hemingway’s A Clean, Well-Lighted Place as the tool of materials in teaching short story writing. While the data will be taken from the skill of short story writing created by students from control and experimental groups, then they will be compared and analyzed in qualitative and quantitative methods. The design of assessment scoring scale criteria which rates setting, character, plot, theme expressions will be applied to compare short story writing skill. There are three aspects which inhibit the goal of short story writing class in previous studies. Those three aspects are unprepared design from teacher, lack of awareness and motivation from students and poor access of literature. This experimental research will be an alternative strategy in order to offer solution for those inhibitions. You-tube video of Hemingway’s A Clean, Well-Lighted Place is a digital tool performing a short film which is effective and at once giving authentic materials, so students will get pleasure and feel enjoy with no anxiety, feel free to express ideas, and have more motivation in class. The tone in the film presents detail setting, so students get inspiration to create place and time of an event in their own story. The characters are lively, so students can observe the expressions to create their imaginary characters. For this case, when students can make their own story, they will get prestige which rises awareness. The dialogues in the film use colloquial words that make students feel easy to understand and from that model, students also get more simple way to create dialogues. In this case, the problem of unprepared design from teacher will be solved.
